Has it been done?

There is jython(python for java):

http://www.jython.org/Project/index.html

I think there are quite a few. Its not really much different from creating a compiler for x86. You just have to compile whatever language to java bytecode instead of a real processor.

Yes, it has. Perhaps more often than you think.

Oh, Arevos, when you do the whole each word is a link thing, it's cheating to make three words one link :-P

Thanks for the info.

Would programs written in other languages that are compiled to Java bytecode be as portable as Java applications? For example, if I wrote a program in Jython, would it run on any system, just like Java code? If not, what would be the purpose of this?

If a program is compiled to java bytecode it will run anywhere where there is a JVM.

Look at jythons web site to get a better idea of what it is all about.

@titaniumdecoy: Not to be rude, but asking this question proves that you have little understanding of how Java or the JVM actually work. I suggest that you read up on it if you are a Java programmer.

I wasn't aware there were rules

Glad I could educate you then ;-)

titaniumdecoy is a way better java programmer and better programmer all around than you are. Don't try to diss someone when you know nothing about them and their education on programming. With all the dumb ass questions you ask too, don't even talk.
